In most cases, using a solution like Amazon S3 will have all these three sorted out for you pretty good. And while it's not a full mountable filesystem, from a system development perspective it has a really good API for retrieving and storing files.

Technically there is s3fs, but it's fairly terrible and I actively recommend against it. Still, it does come handy from time to time, in a limited set of cases.
